These Games We Play Novels & Stories

For the first time. Neither of us wanted to play Gordon’s games anymore.

After a late lunch, Alex and I decided to play a game to pass time. " What do you want to play?" He asked and I shook my head. " I don't know...what do you have?" Alex got up and went over to the closet and opened it. " A lot of games...do you want a card game, board game, or a video game?" He asked and I tapped my chin. " Hmmm...maybe a card game..." " We could play UNO or Poker?" He suggested and I nodded. "UNO sounds fun."

“So, aside from work and pottery have you been doing anything exciting with your time?” “Not really. I am in a loop as it is.” “I heard your roommate asking you to play a game last night. Did you?” “Yes. I did.” “Which games?” “We played our usual games, Mortal Combat and Asphalt. Those are the only games I am minutely decent at. Then we played other games, I think one was called Helo. Yes. That was the last one we played. I wasn’t even half good at that, but he walked me through it.”

Think of doing theme parties and dress up parties throughout the year, that's living, honest living, honest fun, and honest happiness, no harm. Attending movies, concerts, singing karaoke, or even dancing in your living room is fun! That is fun,exploring,experimenting,screaming, dancing and all. Since most of these games are made for teens, they will evoke a sense of fun. It's even more fun to play video games with friends.

And who was the idiot who put that note in the bowl ? The game had started during the filming of the first movie in the series ... we call it 'The cheating game', everyone puts their name in a bowl and in the other bowl is different dares. Then two names are drawn and a dare ... you have to cheat your partner into doing the dare first ... it is usually something like getting drunk as a skunk, sleeping in and being late, singing loudly on set or something else silly. It is usually pretty fun and innocent, even if people tend to get really competitive at times ... but hey everyone is friends again when it is over ... it has always been just fun and games after all.

We clear the table and head to the living room, where we dig out a stack of board games from the closet. As we look through the games, trying to decide which one to play first, I start to feel really excited. It's been a long time since I just relaxed and hung out with someone I like, so I want to make the most of it. Finally, we choose Scrabble, a game we both love. We put the tiles on the table and start playing, both wanting to win. As we play, we get more and more competitive. We joke around and tease each other, trying to be clever. But neither of us wants to give up.

"We'll stay, wow. I didn't know you took a course in blackmailing." "I had to take online courses." Martha whispers, looking over Bethany who's starting to relax. "Don't worry, we'll play a couple games. You're the bosses, no one can fault you if you come late to work, or don't even go at all." "Well, that's the joy of it. So what's after dinner?" "I have planned the game room for us. There is poker, chess, scrabble, go stop, pool and even backgammon if that's where you lean."

"I'll teach you, it's going to be a popular game. I'll say different games and you will choose the ones you feel comfortable to play with." He ruffled his hair in frustration. "Argh!! Stop already Heaven! This looks so childish. I could kiss you all day instead." My heart fluttered at his simple confession and I bit my lips in excitement. The fact that Sebastian still wants me as much as I do was exhilarating but we need to avoid that right now. "Listen to me, we'll play different kind of games. Truth or Dare, Act like I do, Never say never, Hide and seek and spin the bottle."

with you. I smiled and he blinked. "Do you want to make one more memory here?" He asked and my eyebrows knitted. "How?" "Let's play a game" he proposed. "Aldrich we are adults now" I reminded him in case he is forgetting. "That's why we are going to play adult games" he smirked. Adult games?? "Truth, dare, and strip" his smirk widened. "Truth, dare, and what?" I asked in disbelief as I thought my ears are buzzing unnecessarily.
